The price for a Dexter Lawrence trade might be cheaper than you thought

Key Points:

• New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is reportedly in a contract dispute despite being under contract for two more seasons, seeking a new deal likely in the range of the highest-paid nose tackle Jordan Davis’s $26 million per year.
• ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested a trade for Lawrence might resemble the 2023 Leonard Williams trade, involving second- and fifth-round picks, rather than the more costly 2025 Quinnen Williams trade that included a first-round pick and multiple assets.
• The Green Bay Packers, currently lacking a first-round pick in the next two drafts and needing a nose tackle, are considered potential trade partners for Lawrence, with their current cap space and draft assets allowing flexibility for a deal involving mid-round picks.
• The Packers have been actively scouting defensive tackles with their second-round pick, bringing in prospects Christen Miller and Lee Hunter for pre-draft visits, indicating their intent to bolster the position through both trade and draft avenues.
